Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Streptomyces californicus strain ADR1 is an endophytic actinobacterium isolated from Datura metel that produces secondary metabolites with potent antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities against WHO-listed high-priority Gram-positive pathogens. While anti-bacterial and antioxidant potential of the strain ADR1 has been extensively characterized, its complete genome sequence remains to be investigated for further insights into its biosynthetic potential. This study presents the complete genome sequence analysis of the strain ADR1 to provide a robust genomic foundation for understanding its metabolic versatility and biosynthesis of compounds with therapeutic significance. DATA DESCRIPTION: The ADR1 genome was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq. The assembly comprised 262 scaffolds with a total genome size of 8.4 Mb and G + C content of 72.5%, containing 7427 protein-coding genes. AntiSMASH and IIT-Hyderabad novelBGC analysis revealed 39 biosynthetic gene clusters, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, type I polyketide synthases, terpene and melanin clusters, correlating with the diverse therapeutic compounds previously identified through GC-MS analysis. This high-quality genome provides crucial insights into the biosynthetic potential underlying potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the strain ADR1.

Streptomyces songxianensis sp. nov. SX92T: biocontrol of tobacco black shank and modulation of the rhizosphere microbiome.

Streptomyces species are well-known for their potential in biocontrol and plant growth promotion, with the rhizosphere serving a rich reservoir for novel isolates. In this study, a Streptomyces strain (SX92T) was isolated from the rhizosphere of healthy tobacco plants. In dual-culture assays, SX92T displayed broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against six major fungal pathogens of tobacco, with the highest inhibition (59.22%) against Phytophthora nicotianae, the causal agent of tobacco black shank. Polyphasic taxonomic characterization, combining 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, distinctive physiological traits, chemotaxonomic markers (LL-diaminopimelic acid, major menaquinones MK-10(H₄) and MK-9(H₈), and predominant fatty acids anteiso-C₁₅:₀ and C₁₆:₀), and genome-based metrics (ANI and dDDH), clearly distinguished SX92T from its closest relatives. Accordingly, strain SX92T is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, Streptomyces songxianensis sp. nov. The genome of SX92T is 9.69 Mb in size with a G + C content of 71% and contains 26 biosynthetic gene clusters, including one showing 100% similarity to the albaflavenone cluster. In field trials, application of SX92T fermentation broth significantly improved tobacco agronomic traits and reduced black shank incidence by 44.97%. Furthermore, SX92T treatment reshaped the rhizosphere microbiome by enriching beneficial bacteria such as Flavobacterium and altering the relative abundance of specific fungi, including a reduction in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis. It also shifted soil enzyme activities, with increased cellulase and decreased catalase levels. These findings establish Streptomyces songxianensis SX92T as a promising multifunctional biocontrol agent for sustainable tobacco production.

Unconventional Biocatalytic Strategies Orchestrate the Synthesis of the Nucleoside Analog Sinefungin.

Sinefungin is a potent nucleoside antimetabolite of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Since its discovery in the 1970s, sinefungin has generated significant scientific interest owing to its role as a bioisostere of SAM and its broad range of biological activities. Despite considerable efforts to uncover the enzymes responsible for sinefungin production in the following years, its biosynthesis remained unclear for decades. Here, we characterize the complete sinefungin biosynthetic gene cluster (sin BGC) from Streptomyces incarnatus NRRL 8089. In vitro and in vivo analyses support a recent finding that the defining carbon-carbon (C-C) bond is formed not by a long-hypothesized PLP-dependent process, but by a vitamin B12-dependent radical SAM enzyme. We provide direct mechanistic evidence, via isotope-labeled products, that the adenosyl group of sinefungin originates from adenosylcobalamin and is atypically consumed via a homolytic SH2 substitution reaction. We also characterize two peptide aminoacyl-tRNA ligases (PEARLs) that append alanines onto the nucleoside scaffold using tRNA-activated amino acids. The PEARLs act directly on small molecules rather than macromolecular substrates, with one PEARL capable of iterative elongation. In addition, we perform in-vitro substrate profiling of several sin BGC-encoded enzymes. We reveal that multiple enzymes show specificity toward phosphorylated intermediates, including the earliest-acting PEARL enzyme. These observations provide an explanation for a cryptic phosphorylation-dephosphorylation strategy observed in the pathway, as they prevent the formation of the highly toxic sinefungin inside the cell. Finally, we leverage these enzymes in a reduced multi-enzyme cascade to biosynthesize sinefungin. Together, these findings expand upon our current knowledge of radical-mediated C-C bond formation and PEARL enzyme catalysis, unlocking biocatalytic possibilities to produce amino acid-nucleoside conjugates.
